Player Of The Year Profile: Blake Atkins

Although his season came to an end early due to an injury, John Glenn running back Blake Atkins has made a convincing case to be Gridiron Glory's Player of the Year. Despite his small frame, he has made a habit of making defenders look silly with his speed in the open field. He has also emerged as one of the area's best threats on punt returns, adding another dimension to his game.
